Oh no! The dRGB cable was severed during shipping. Fear not! PPCs helped get EK to ship a replacement RGB strip.
The work setup: Ducky One2 RGB w/ MX Brown switches, LOOP Pudding V2 keycaps from Drop.com & a custom Jumbo Coiled cable from mechcables.com
The gaming setup: Razer Orbweaver w/ Orange switches, the new Drop Alt High-Profile w/ Halo True switches, and my trusty Roccat Leadr mouse.

I had already swapped the Halo True switches for some Kailh Box Browns, as I'm a heathen that loves to bottom out, and the True's aren't a fit for me. Now I'm swapping out the Browns for some Everglide Crystal Violets.

Build Updates
6/10/20 - Upgrades already!
During the case swap I accidentally plugged my 5v Prisma fans into a 12v extension... lovely burning smell! So... some new Corsair QL fans! Have also been having some weird buggy issues, so a “new to me” motherboard & a fresh instal of Windows!

11/7/20 - Upgrade: 3080 FTW3
Thanks to EVGA’s queue system, I was able to get my 3080! Which also required a new PSU and, of course, more CableMod.

11/28/20 - Hard tubing parts arrive
Thanks to Performance PC’s and their Black Friday sales, my conversion from soft tubing to hard tubing has started. Now the wait for EK to release the 3080 FTW3 waterblock so I can assemble it all!

1/15/21 - Keyboard Update
Some more goodies from my Black Friday shopping. Ditched my Das Keyboard 4Q for a "hot-swap" setup. And my hot-swap keyboard has gone through several switches already!
And I'm still waiting for EK to ship my 3080 FTW3 waterblock, hopefully an update on that soon.
